The provided text is a 510(k) Premarket Notification for a medical device (S.I.N. Instrument Kits, an instrument sterilization tray). This document describes the nonclinical testing and acceptance criteria for mechanical and sterilization performance of the device itself, rather than the performance of an AI/ML algorithm.

Therefore, the specific information requested in your prompt regarding acceptance criteria and study design for an AI/ML device (e.g., sample sizes, expert ground truth, MRMC studies, standalone algorithm performance, training set details) cannot be extracted from this document. This document describes a traditional medical device, not an AI/ML enabled one.

However, I can extract the acceptance criteria and performance data for the device itself based on the provided "Summary of Nonclinical Testing" table.

1. Table of Acceptance Criteria and Reported Device Performance:

2. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

The document does not explicitly state the sample sizes used for each specific test. However, it indicates that the tests were nonclinical, implying that the data provenance is likely from laboratory testing rather than human subjects or a specific country of origin for patient data. The tests are described as validations, which typically involve testing multiple units of the device under specified conditions. The provenance for the referenced standards (K201688 and K212404 for predicate devices) would apply to the methodologies but not necessarily the data for the subject device.

3. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

Not applicable. The tests performed are nonclinical and involve validation against established industry standards and regulatory guidance, not expert interpretation of medical images or patient data. The "ground truth" for these tests is defined by the acceptance criteria set forth in the referenced standards and FDA guidance.

4. Adjudication method for the test set:

Not applicable. As the tests are nonclinical validations against predefined criteria, there is no need for expert adjudication. The results are determined by whether the device's performance meets the quantitative or qualitative requirements of the standard/guidance.

5. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

Not applicable. The S.I.N. Instrument Kits are sterilization trays, not an AI-assisted diagnostic or therapeutic device. No MRMC study was conducted.

6. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

Not applicable. This device is not an algorithm or AI system, so standalone algorithm performance is irrelevant. The tests performed are for the physical sterilization kit itself.

7. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

The "ground truth" for these nonclinical tests is established by industry standards (e.g., ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-1, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 17665-2, USP , ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-5, ANSI/AAMI/ISO 10993-12) and FDA guidance documents (e.g., "Reprocessing Medical Devices in Health Care Settings: Validation Methods and Labeling"). These standards and guidance define the acceptable performance parameters and methodologies for ensuring the safety and effectiveness of medical devices like sterilization kits. For example, for bacterial endotoxin testing, the ground truth for "Pass" is a level ≤ 20 EU/device.

8. The sample size for the training set:

Not applicable. This device does not involve machine learning or AI, and therefore does not have a training set.

9. How the ground truth for the training set was established:

Study Details

1. Sample size used for the test set and the data provenance:

   • Sample Size for Test Set: The document mentions "3 consecutive half-cycles performed for each of 3 sizes of trays" for Sterilization Validation. For Biocompatibility, it states "L-929 cells exposed to extract of device." The exact number of units or iterations per test beyond what is explicitly stated (e.g., how many trays were tested for cleaning, how many units for biocompatibility extract) is not explicitly detailed in the provided text.
   • Data Provenance: The document does not specify the country of origin of the data or whether the studies were retrospective or prospective. It only lists the standards followed (e.g., FDA Guidance, USP, ANSI/AAMI/ISO).

2. Number of experts used to establish the ground truth for the test set and the qualifications of those experts:

   • This information is not provided in the document. The tests performed are laboratory-based and follow established standards, implying no human expert consensus was required to establish ground truth for these specific performance criteria.

3. Adjudication method (e.g., 2+1, 3+1, none) for the test set:

   • This information is not applicable as the tests are non-clinical, objective validations against predetermined criteria, not assessments requiring expert adjudication of subjective findings.

4. If a multi reader multi case (MRMC) comparative effectiveness study was done, If so, what was the effect size of how much human readers improve with AI vs without AI assistance:

   • No MRMC comparative effectiveness study was done. This device (S.I.N. Instrument Kits, which are instrument sterilization trays) is a physical medical device, not an AI-powered diagnostic tool. Therefore, the concept of "human readers improve with AI assistance" is not applicable.

5. If a standalone (i.e. algorithm only without human-in-the-loop performance) was done:

   • No standalone (algorithm-only) performance study was done. As mentioned above, this is a physical medical device, not an algorithm.

6. The type of ground truth used (expert consensus, pathology, outcomes data, etc.):

   • The ground truth for these non-clinical tests is based on objective measurements and adherence to established regulatory standards and protocols (e.g., protein residue levels, endotoxin levels, sterility assurance level (SAL), weight change, visual inspection, dimensional verification, cell viability).

7. The sample size for the training set:

   • There is no training set as this is a physical medical device validation, not a machine learning model.
